"When danger threatens, climb a tree!" The little bear cub remembered his mother's warning when threatened by a forest fire. Rescued by a fire fighting forest ranger and cared for by his family, Smokey grew up to live in the National Zoo and became a symbol for fire safety. Includes an adult Smokey telling general fire safety rules about matches, campfires, smoking, and burning trash. Illustrations are colorful, realistic, and support the text nicely.
